An elementary-age kid just asked, "What do Donald Trump and a pumpkin have in common?"

[FSogol]

A: They are both orange, hollow inside, and should be thrown out in November.

[MontanaMama]

1. That kid is my hero today!

Lord knows we need to laugh during this shit storm of a day.

[FSogol]

2. It was a co-worker's kid in my office break room today. Hilarious. n/t

[MontanaMama]

3. Brilliant!

Were there any Dotard lovers in the room?

[FSogol]

4. Nah, even the few Repubs here don't seem to like Trumpy. n/t

[ProudLib72]

5. I'm definitely telling that joke

Half baked pumpkin pie prezident! Let's send Mueller a pumpkin carving kit.

[gyroscope]

6. Evil Trumpkinhead

good idea for Halloween costume

[QED]

7. A meme

[FSogol]

13. LOL! n/t

[BumRushDaShow]

21. DUzy!

[oasis]

8. Zing!

[SummerSnow]

9. 1. kid gets the key to the city 2. Joke goes to the Greatest Page 3. Year supply of pizza

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. They have similar IQ. Both need a lobotomy to achieve full potential. . . . nt

[Paka]

11. I like it!

In the words of children.

[cwydro]

12. Love it!

But he's still going to be here in November, I'm afraid.

[SergeStorms]

24. It SHOULD have been....

LAST November!

[cwydro]

26. Agree. nt

[lpbk2713]

14. Both have a face you'd like to carve up. **

** It's a joke. I'm not endorsing or encouraging an act of violence against anyone.

[SeattlePop]

15. Except for the Deplorables

Think he's great!

[SergeStorms]

25. They're the people....

who still have pumpkins on their front-door steps the following April.

[El Mimbreno]

16. And the difference?

The pumpkin has a higher IQ.

[GopherGal]

17. A little more difference than that:

The pumpkin also has more morals.

[SergeStorms]

27. And the pumpkin....

is not quite as orange as Trump.

[Le Gaucher]

18. Oh- they should carved up before being thrown out

[TeamPooka]

19. I'd say "Slimey inside" instead. nt

[Initech]

[benld74]

23. #1 Halloween Joke fer sur

[left-of-center2012]

29. Why November?

[louis c]

30. elections are in November

Not his, or course.

Another line of reasoning is that we should only stand this Moron in office for another month.

[left-of-center2012]

33. I didn't realize Trump's running for election next month

[Atman]

31. Had to share that one!

Thanks!

[Plucketeer]

32. Indeed!

Orange, brainless and start to rot as soon as they're enlisted. I gotta say tho, the pumpkin has no thumbs and knows enough not to speak and reveal it's IQ !

[geardaddy]

34. Zing!

[DFW]

35. Here's how you can tell the difference when in doubt:

The pumpkin tweets less.............

[sixsixsick]

36. HA!

From the mouths of babes...

[Towlie]

37. Over 23,000 Google hits even with quotes around the riddle, and some date back a very long time.

It's hard to tell where that riddle originally came from, but if a kid said it then there's a fair chance he's well past elementary school by now.

39. Jokes run around for centuries.* I wasn't implying that the kid wrote the joke, they were just

repeating something funny they heard. My point (besides repeating something funny I heard) was to show that Trumpy is so ridiculed, that a young kid is comfortable mocking him around mostly unknown adults. The real knee-slapper is everyone realizes Trumpy is a joke.


* PS, about 10 years ago, a Roman joke book was discovered. In it was a variation of Monty Python's Dead Parrot joke. The Roman version involved someone buying a slave that turned out to be dead. The seller claimed he was just resting, that he had never died before, that he was pining for the Mediterranean, etc.

38. clever!!
